Easy walk to the beach, harbor and downtown, sleeps 6!

Easy walk to the beach, harbor and downtown!
Charming two-bedroom home with comfy sleeper couch (sleeps 6 total) overlooking the river and marina. You’ll wake to the sound of seagulls over the river and birds chirping in the woods while you enjoy your morning coffee on the screened-in porch. Walk to the beautiful public beach or stroll to the harbor and visit the new Maritime Museum. End the day with an evening walk into the charming town of South Haven for dinner, drinks, and a movie. The adjacent woods and large lot make it ideal for families, but the private location is perfect for a romantic getaway. The large master bedroom has a four-poster bed, and the full-size bathroom has a combo shower/tub. Plenty of closet space throughout. Delightful open floorplan with a breakfast bar and fully equipped kitchen to prepare the fish you caught on the North Beach pier!

House was just as described, perfectly clean and lots of space inside! The four seasons room was the best for meals and playing games. Kids loved the tire swing and there’s a good amount of yard to the side of the house. Once we parked the car didn’t need to drive again we walked all over downtown and also to multiple beaches including the main north beach.

The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed the screened porch and the smart TV for movies at night after sun filled days at the beach and downtown. Everything we eanted to do was truly walkable. Shopping, restaurants, beach, liquor store with snacks and ice. The bathroom is tiny and might be small for a larger person but worked just fine for us. Shower had great water pressure.We cooked full meals and kitchen had everything we needed. AC was very comfortable and everything was clean. Very cute place!I'd come back for sure.

Disliked: Communication
Very dated decor and kitchen. No disposal or dishwasher, 1 bathroom very small with mirror not much bigger than 8x10. No full length mirror anywhere, stained rugs, bed linens sub standard. Sleeps 6 but only table seating for 2. Screens on porch could use some maintenance. Location was good for downtown but overpriced for accommodations.
